Stripping wallpaper sucks.

In case you're interested.

No no no no no!!Release your mind. Let your inner destroyer burst free. Don't be afraid to drench yourself and everything around you in slimy smelly chemicals; they do it in Quepoygobrowl...n...phiten...villle...as an aphrodisiac! It's a highly soughtafter luxury in many parts of the earth. Really, I bet that spa I took you to had a DIX (that's the kind of stripper you have, right) Room where you can be wrapped in the comfort and scent of Dix and vinyl until all your cares have drifted away on a cloud of pollution. Open your senses and fly free!!!!!!

See, I live 30000 miles away so you can't take a swing at me from there.

Well don't you just get the A for effort. ;)

The slime is groooooooooosssssssss. And the paper's coming off in teeny tiny shreds of wet gooey ick, which are now all over the floor, counter, me and even stuck to the bottoms of my feet!

The slime will coat your nostrils if you don't wear a bandana.

Is the outer layer coming off separately from the lower (paper) layer? (This is an important ?, so get right back to me if you can)

I'll look forward to the blue slimey snot tomorrow then! (bandana-free)

The outer layer is mostly coming off and then leaving the lower paper layer to turn into gross things that almost remind me of oatmeal. I know there's a way to do it that's better because a few times it almost worked and I got bigger strips to come off, I'm just not mastering it.

Sounds like you're not wetting the bottom layer/layers thoroughly enough (soak 'em GOOD), or you're not letting it sit long enough to soak in. Let it sit for about 5 minutes. I usually start spraying in one spot and really take my time about it, then move on, so that by the time I've finished the whole strip I've picked to work on the first part is ready for stripping. (And doesn't it feel good when those long pieces just peeeeeeeel right off?)

Gah, I'm giving wallpaper-stripping advice at 5 a.m. A Life? Wazzat?
